X Factor Finale: Kelly Rowland Duets With Amelia Lily Live!
Moments ago, X Factor UK judge Kelly Rowland took to the stage with X Factor 2011 contestant Amelia to perform a rousing rendition of ‘River Deep,Mountain High‘ live.
Without further delay, get into the performance below…
THEY KILLED IT! BEST I’VE HEARD KELLY SOUND THROUGHOUT HER WHOLE SOLO CAREER LIVE! LOVED IT,I STILL WANT LITTLE MIX TO WIN,BUT DUNNO WHAT THEY PERFORMED?
to anybody who says or thinks Kelly cant sing and sounds out of breath, I couldn’t disagree w/ you more. That shakyness is just another tool and technique she uses and in it is what makes Kelly Rowland magical, her tone is very delicate and strong at the same time, and her confidence is making her stronger as a live performer!!!! Kelly can be as big as Beyonce w/ the right song choice, and even as a live performer!!
omg kelly can be as big as whitney houston.. i think kelly is still finding her voice… the fact she did not sing in dc .. we didnt see how amazing she is… she needs more balads and her voice is incredible… she shud put this song out as a single… that was the best performance of the series…
You can definitely tell that she is no longer managed by the Knowles’.
Now Kelly, if you plan on releasing a new album either next year or in 2013, you better fucking promote the hell out of it in the US. I think you should trade places with Nicole so that you can grow more appeal in the US.
Anyway, Kelly, you continue to rock my socks. I believe with the best team possible, you could gear up to have one hell of a more successful and relevant solo career.
ms kelly better work – great performance – i dont know the song but its good all the same – i can tell she was holding back of course lol it wasnt her performance so i can respect that – she is defienently doing it big and 2012 i know its going to be an even bigger year for her! work!
kelly was the star of the show and finished with an hounors … tulisa did a slow song and tried too hard and is the last on the list gary comes after kelly… tulisa no contender… tulisa who?
Kelly and Amelia shut that shyt down!!!! Nuff said!!!
What was that mess Tulisa and Mix Trix did, a tribute to Alicia Keys? That was a major fail. Kelly got Mix Trix to where they are, and they should thank her daily.
WOW!!! Now THAT is what I’m talking about. Tonality. Control. POWER. That performance had it all. This is the Kelly I’ve been waiting to see. Actually it takes me back to her DC days. Kelly may not have been “1st lead” in the group, but when it came to the groups harmonies, Kelly’s was the most distinctive voice. She held it down as the groups resident soprano. Her chest voice is so clear and strong. I love the fact that she can belt without excessive bravado or growls. Although she has a beautiful bravado and can certainly growl, she doesn’t HAVE to hide behind those things because her voice can carry it’s own weight. It’s so pure. I hope these are the kind of vocals she’ll be serving on her next album (which is said to be inspired by that Motown sound). Kelly is taking us back to the days when sangas ruled the charts and I can’t wait.
Tulisa who, waaahhht and where? Tonight Gawd stepped in and hollered “Enough!!!! Y’all have persecuted my child enough”. This whole duet thing was drummed up by Simon to stick the knife in Kelly and have the public think Tulisa was not only a better judge with Little Mix but a better singer as well. Tulisa staged that performance like it was Tulisa and her back ground vocalists instead of showcasing her acts, still it was Jesys bb skills that impressed me more. I thought Gary & Marcus were gonna be a scene stealer but they bored me to tears and the came the milk and white chocolate Tinas…….they had chemistry, vocals and Kelly got the crowd involved like the seasoned performer she is.
PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT and not a firework, airplane, denim trackie or pointed shoulder pad needed.
*Sigh…just SOOO painfully avergae, from Kelly that is!! I like Amelia’s tone however. Went well with the song!! Save the last note, Kelly’s voice just always seems to fall flat!! (:
@ INDEPENDENT THINKER Well said!! I totally agree. This is the absolute best that I have EVER heard Kelly (well this and Endless Love with Lionel Richie).
Kels does some great “dance” tracks (i.e: David Guetta and Alex Gaudino), but THIS PERFORMANCE?! It was spot on from beginning to end. Also, I liked the fact that she did not dominate the song. Kelly and Amelia were equals. That was classy on Kelly’s part cause like someone else posted, Kelly could have used this moment to showcase more of her own vocals, but she didn’t. Great job ladies!
Yaaaaaassss kelly!! She jus continues to grow as an artist and performer and is beginning to SAIL past her more succesfful peers yet severely less talented peers.. Its crazy how lil shine she gets when she shits on half the ppl getting hit after hit performance wise .. She and beyonce should be on top together in my opinion
ONE OF KELLY’S BEST VOCAL PERFORMANCES EVER!!!… (as stated before). Her control, her range, her presence— everything was spot on. Amelia is a natural belter and I expected her to do the top notes, but Kelly hit those Soprano notes spot on. Their voices complimented each other well. 5 STARS!!!
